THE FANTASTIC FOUR #1 CLUB 14 14

[Dark Knight]

I still think FF #1 still has room to grow.  When you think that AF #15 copies sell for roughly $8k-$10k/point in low - midgrade , and FF #1 arguably is the 2nd most important SA book, the book that started it all, a 10 center, i believe that it should be inching closer per point, but not overtake AF 15.

They sure are! What happened to SC #4?  That book was literally neck to neck with Hulk 1

Justice League happened to SC 4.....

(But in all seriousness it still does well, it just seems to have plateaued for now.)

I think it is all about the anticipation of a new Fantastic Four movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That is the main reason why the prices have gone back up.

It's also been undervalued for so long imo. Now its finally getting noticed.

I think it is the movie hype. An example would be what if Comcast does indeed get the Fox rights instead of Disney?

All of a sudden the FF#1 excitement would cool down. 

This run imho is being driven that there will be a new FF movie done by Kevin Feige and Disney.

It would not look as attractive if Comcast would decide to do another movie reboot.

If Disney doesn't get the movies rights than we would see a flurry of FF#1 buyers selling most likely.

Same thing similar happened with Ohtani rookie cards recently.  Ohtani rookie cards were the hottest cards in the land, until he got the injury,and now have cooled considerably. The bubble for Ohtani cards popped overnight. 

People are fickle,so let's hope this Disney deal goes thru so Disney gets the rights to FF.

People are fickle but Ohtani is a flash in the pan.  I'd rather overspend on a proven comic grail.   Risk is a lot lower than a sports athlete

Not sure if Hakes.com reports to gpanalysis, but here is BREAKING NEWS . . .

The deadline for Comcast to make another troll bid was July 10, I believe. There was no news of any additional offers being made by them by then. Fox wasn't interested in entertaining any further bids from them anyway. Fox has ignored buy out offers from Comcast before because they know it would be a regulatory headache getting it approved.  The deal with Disney has already been rubber stamped by the DOJ and the deal is basically done.  

Whether or not any of this has any or all to do with the surge in FF1 who can really say?  People have said for years how "under valued" FF 1 was compared to other early SA keys for a long time and it seems "the market" likes to pick a different book every year to lavish attention on.  This may have been FF 1's year either way.

I thought I had a chance to steal this one, but the price shows there are a LOT of savvy collectors out there.  Over $4000 now with an hour to go.  Really nice looking 0.5

[KirbyJack]

Giving up on it?

It could overtake  AF 15 . A lot less copies of FF #1 out there.
